loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
 
@Wipqozn Apparently, Mushishi has a sequel out this season.
You're the one I recall liking it, so I figured I'd let you know there's more coming down the pipe.
 
@Frank Oh my
If this is true, and it's not horrible, I love you.
holy snap it's true. Second season? Oh my oh my.
 
@Wipqozn Whoa, easy there.
 
1:28 PM
and there was a 40 minute special, whaaaaaaaaaaaat
 
@Frank Watch out for the turtle love!
 
wait, what. Episode 1 ma yhave already aireD?
whaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Holy snap it was.
It's the alcohol episode.
 
@Wipqozn Mornings are objectively worse than non-mornings.
 
I know what I'll be doing on my break!

Q: command blocks not working on my singleplayer world

Thedemonangeli have just downloaded yet another map,and my command blocks still aren't working for minecraft single player. i have tried using fixing the redstone, looking up things to help me with this,but the command blocks still aren't working. Please help,because this is getting really annoying. Thanks.

 
1:32 PM
@Wipqozn You are welcome.
 
@Frank is now my new favourite person.
Sorry @OrigamiRobot!
 
It's ok, I know you're just telling him that. I know the truth.
I need a new show to watch now that I'm caught up with Justified.
cc @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
I suggest Mushishi.
Also read the manga.
 
@Wipqozn I'm waiting for SAO Season 2.
 
I don't read the comics I already have. I'm definitely not reading manga.
 
1:34 PM
I've never watched the Japanese version before. I wonder if it uses the same voice actors as the original.
I hope they dub it, and use the same voice actor for Ginko as before. He was really good.
I can't remember his name right now, but he did Roy Mustang from FMA as well.
 
Dubs are the worst.
@Wipqozn is a monster.
 
My cat is insane.
 
@OrigamiRobot Some dubs are.
 
@Frank Might as well say "My cat is a cat"
 
@Frank it's a cat
 
1:36 PM
@OrigamiRobot Most cats I know don't freak out every five minutes.
 
Important Service Announcement: 4chan is now accepting webm's, too.
Basically the days of the gif are now numbered.
 
@Frank Then they're obviously not cats.
 
@RonanForman ping
 
@Wipqozn The only reason to watch a dub is because subs aren't available.
 
@OrigamiRobot yes! Only downside of subs is that you can't really watch them passively (i.e. put them on another monitor and do other shit in the meantime)
 
1:41 PM
@OrigamiRobot If the dub is well done I prefer to watch the dub.
 
@KevinvanderVelden That's not something I ever want to do.
 
Otherwise I'll watch the sub.

@Wipqozn is a monster.
@Wipqozn does everything wrong.
 
I'm kinda with @Wipqozn here.
 
If it's English I'll go for (English) subs
 
1:44 PM
On everything?
 
Otherwise a dub is fine, unless it's something obviously terrible like the Italian dub of HL2.
 
It's mostly based on the voice talent available.
 
God, the Italian dub of HL2.
 
So I got retweeted by Notch
 
God, Italian
 
1:45 PM
The iOS App Store is at the forefront of innovation and high quality design http://t.co/M2X43TNubC
 
Sometimes the original language voices drive me insane compared to the dub I got in exchange.
 
@BenBrocka dun dun duuuuuun
 
and my twitter interactions list is basically unreadable (2000 retweets and I have no idea how many mentions)
 
Hah
 
@GraceNote Excellent! If @GraceNote agrees with me then I'm right.
Jan 21 at 16:36, by OrigamiRobot
If you think @GraceNote is wrong, you simply didn't understand what she said.
 
1:46 PM
I notice for example that all NIS games I much prefer the EN voice acting (Disgaea 2 aside). Part because it's more pleasing to my ears, part because ultimately I'm also more familiar to it.
 
@Wipqozn No you're still wrong.
 
@GraceNote I think people are biased because lots of dubs are cheap, they're not inherently bad, though there are some inherent, but fixable, issues with delivering intent
 
Oh, no, you're not right, @Wipqozn. I'm right. I'm kinda with you but you're not right.
 
I prefer to watch dub with the subtitles on and compare
 
If you're wrong and @GraceNote agrees with you, you're still wrong and @GraceNote is still right.
 
1:48 PM
@BenBrocka There was a time when the dub talent was rather mediocre. It's been greatly improved since then, though. But not everywhere. For example, Chaos Wars is something one should never listen to the dub.
 
@GraceNote Oh....oh....
 
@GraceNote except for Laharl's voice in Disgaea 3 :|
 
@BenBrocka I didn't recall having much issue there.
 
@KevinvanderVelden at least written Italian makes mostly sense
 
@badp shall I correct it to "God, Italians" ? :)
 
1:49 PM
@KevinvanderVelden That is acceptable.
 
@GraceNote They replaced the iconic laugh for Meteor Impact with him literally saying "Main character!"
 
@BenBrocka Most original icon is doge, abort. Abort.
 
Oh, that's a different sort of change, yeah I wasn't fond of that either.
To that point I mostly stuck to using Overlord's Wrath because of that though.
 
So, I started playing Remember Me last night. I see the combat is a bit on the simple side, but it seemed OK.
 
1:51 PM
KJSANETIVABEIRVBQ3I4V3KV AOEPP;I8ROAENRVE5V288/979*E4V+Q3*545VW+
 
@badp Is that a Rebecca Black link?
 
@OrigamiRobot Whole horde of cats passing by?
 
JOHN PINETTE WAS BROUGHT UP YESTERDAY BECAUSE HE DIED?
 
@Powerlord I wish!
 
@Powerlord It's the Half Life 2 Intro in Italian.
 
1:52 PM
and for some reason, me saying that reminded me of Ryoko's reaction to answering the door in the Tenchi Muyo OVA 3 first episode.
 
Easily the worst dub I've ever been exposed to.

Q: Level cap in Blitzball?

Dupree3I have been playing a lot of Blitzball since buying the new Remastered version and some of my characters are getting around upper 30's for levels...With this being said what is the max level in blitzball, if there is one?

0
Q: Best in position for Blitzball

Dupree3I have been playing Blitzball a lot and find it highly addictive...like others seem to also...and noticed that some people are more suited for specific positions compared to others. Obviously based upon stats. This got me thinking about who has the highest overall stats for specific positions in ...

 
@OrigamiRobot Mickey Rooney was probably brought up yesterday for that reason, too.
 
@Wipqozn WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME
NOT ONLY DOES THIS MESSAGE GIVE BAD NEWS, BUT IT ALSO REMINDS PEOPLE THAT SEINFELD IS A THING THAT EXISTS
DON'T KICK ME WHEN I'M DOWN
 
1:56 PM
21 mins ago, by Origami Robot
@Wipqozn is a monster.
 
@GraceNote Basically all of his lines are terrible. I guess the voice is mostly the same just written incompetently though
 
Also, Seinfeld is fantastic.
 
@Wipqozn If by fantastic you mean boring, I agree.
 
your face is boring.
.........no it's not :(
 
shudder playing enough Blitzball to hit a level cap. A terrifying thought
 
1:58 PM
I was just sent a Facility Notification because... this week is Severe Weather Awareness week in our state's government?
 
Captain Earth has potential.
 
Captain Earth...? Is that a cheap rip-off of Captain Planet, the most bad ass super hero known to man?
 
Oh, apparently we're having a Tornado drill 1pm on Wednesday.
 
@BenBrocka For the most part, though, the JP lines are the same, so I can't hold that against the localization.
 
@GraceNote Oh, lame. Wonder what they were thinking
Still not as bad as D4's Land of carnage though. Grump.
 
2:02 PM
Magic spoilers started!
 
@Wipqozn you didn't know that? :o
 
@OrigamiRobot Does that mean "devotion to (red and white)" or "(devotion to red) and (devotion to white)"?
 
@OrigamiRobot ye gods. such a perfect boros card
 
@StrixVaria Devotion to red + devotion to white
Hybrid mana only counts once.
 
2:04 PM
@StrixVaria it would work with 3w and 4r
 
@BenBrocka Zam.
 
@Wipqozn Number of colored mana symbols in casting costs.
 
@MattЭллен Ok. I think that wording is pretty confusing but I was hoping that's how it worked.
 
@StrixVaria yeah. I have to check everytime :)
 
@GraceNote desu
 
2:06 PM
Reminds me of all the confusion people had with Blazing Salvo back in the day.
> Blazing Salvo deals 3 damage to target creature unless that creature's controller has Blazing Salvo deal 5 damage to him or her.
 
What's confusing about that?
 
People read it all sorts of stupid ways. They thought it dealt 3 to the creature and 5 to the player. Sometimes they thought it dealt 5 to the creature unless the other player "had" Blazing Salvo.
I never had trouble, but I got into a lot of arguments with other people who couldn't wrap their head around it.
 
l2rules @PeopleStrixPlayedWith
 
srsly
 
2:08 PM
I still have confusion with it
 
@Wipqozn You are surprised that PHP kinda sorta has half a feature?
 
oh, OK, now I get it
 
@BenBrocka That's at least a natural construct in the corresponding language.
 
@badp I never claimed to be surprised. Take that!
 
2:09 PM
@Wipqozn You were sufficiently surprised to share the news with us!
You deemed it sufficiently interesting, and surprising, to share, hoping to interest, and surprise, us as well!
FACE THE FACTS and don't drown
 
Every single thing I learn about PHP makes me hate it more.
 
@StrixVaria PHP has GTK and QT bindings.
 
@OrigamiRobot the has can cause people to insert an and between creature and unless.
 
@StrixVaria Welcome to the club.
 
it would be clearer if the has was choses to have
 
2:12 PM
@StrixVaria Huh, that's an interesting choice. 5 is a lot of damage for a player to take, though, so that makes for an interesting fork.
 
I wonder how long before we find out that 1 in 5 crapware app in the iPhone was actually written in PHP!!
 
@MattЭллен That makes no sense.
 
@OrigamiRobot that's the price of a laguage where elision happens willy nilly.
 
@KevinvanderVelden ...chooo chooo?
 
2:13 PM
@badp yes, they thought those red things would protect the hose from a fricking TRAIN
 
@GraceNote Yeah, I like the card.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I'm more worried about those red things working
 
@badp I thought Apple would reject apps if they weren't written in Objective C.
 
the train lifts off from the tracks and into the neighbourhood
 
2:14 PM
@GraceNote It seems to be a somewhat common thing to make characters awkwardly punctuate sentences with random crap. Presumably there's some reason it's common in localizations. BELIEVE IT
 
@OrigamiRobot I like that card a lot.
 
@Powerlord That was a short lived rule I think.
 
Never seen it before.
 
@BenBrocka Well, it makes a bit more sense, again, in Japanese where some of these are actually common. For example, Yukimaru's lines all end in "degozaru", which is very, very commonly used for ancient times-y folk, especially samurai and ninja, it's a way to distinguish that these people are in fact that.
 
@OrigamiRobot it's mostly because has strongly associates with ownership, rather than choice.
 
2:16 PM
@StrixVaria That card looks like the very definition of OP seeing as how you can cast it on the very first turn.
I'm going to assume it's banned in tournament play.
 
@Powerlord I think it was just that you had to use their compiler or something, which meant that a lot of people made stuff that compiled language to Objective-C
 
If you're familiar with him, Kenshin in Rurouni Kenshin also used the same speech pattern, when he was not in Battousai mode. They localized it as him saying things like "That it is", which flows a lot more naturally in the English language.
 
@KevinvanderVelden I read that the twitterpost was mostly a joke, because that piece of railroad was closed off for a week.
 
@MattЭллен Except "has" doesn't make sense as ownership in the sentence.
 
It's like the whole manner of honorifics in Japanese - we don't have them in English. It downright sounds awkward when people stick with them in a non-ironic fashion.
 
2:18 PM
@GraceNote Not really sure it should be kept in localization though. Sorta like Persona's "senpai" it's pretty weird alongside the rest of the...well, properly localized text
 
@Arperum well that makes sense
 
@BenBrocka Hence the mention of Rurouni Kenshin, which I feel did a much better job at handling that particular nuance.
 
@GraceNote What? English has honorifics. What about 'sir'?
 
@GnomeSlice Not the same manner of them.
 
Oh.
 
2:19 PM
@Arperum so why put it in the first place like that?
 
@OrigamiRobot true, but only after you understand what the card does, before you're just looking for what's likely to be there. thinking r hard. people r lazy.
 
@badp No clue.
 
We have misters and misses, yes. And that's where we use our honorifics. But there's a whole host of them in Japanese for a lot of different levels of familiarity, age, and other factors. In many ways, a lot of it is closer to nicknames.
(Which is another place that I've seen localizations do things better is when they in fact make it into a nickname instead of just tacking on the honorific).
 
@badp I'm assuming default levels of moronic.
 
@Arperum you make it sounds like it's a chemical element, or at least a neurotoxin.
"Mononic acid"
"Moronate acid"?
I forget.
 
2:23 PM
@GraceNote and english honorifics are (fortunately) very rarely socially appropriate. If it's not a military or super upper class setting they stick out massively
s-senpai
 
@BenBrocka Don't worry, I notice you.
 
@OrigamiRobot I really wish it didn't specify "him or her", and just used "him", so that during tournaments you'd get that person arguing that female players can't actually have the damage be dealt to them since they're not male, and therefore "him" can't apply to them.
Since that would be amusing.
also, break time!
get food, thne mushishi
thanks again @Frank
 
54 mins ago, by Frank
@Wipqozn You are welcome.
 
@badp Who am I to say it isn't? I would explain the amount of stupid that happens at times.
 
2:28 PM
@Powerlord Except your opponent knows whether he can deal with it right away or not and can make an informed decision about what to do. Giving your opponent any kind of choice is a huge downside so the power level of the card is high in either case to make up for it. It seems fine to me (especially at rare).
 
"Why did you build that house upside down?" "The area contained high levels of moronic."

Q: Guard Dog Call of Duty Ghosts

BruceHow come some people seem to have dogs always, is there a time where it is automatically there? Maybe at a certain level or is it always a Kill streak? Ty

 
@StrixVaria Being forced to either let the opponent have a 4/3 creature during the first turn or take 1/5 of your starting life in damage is the very essence of overpowered.
 
@BenBrocka ooooo so far so good
 
2:29 PM
And that's discounting that you can have up to 4 of them in your deck.
 
@OrigamiRob watch Eastbound and Down, duh.
 
Sure, if it comes out later it's not as powerful, but it's still a ridiculously powerful card for 1 mana.
 
@Powerlord I really don't agree. Every card in a deck should be putting your opponent in a worse position, you're not likely to get more than 2 in a single game even as a 4-of, and it's not hard to deal with later in the game.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, yea. I knew there was something else.
 
It's a very strong turn 1 card, obviously.
But I don't think it's an overpowered turn 1 card.
 
2:30 PM
@BenBrocka This is great.
 
@OrigamiRobot What's your experience with this 1-mana 4/3 in game?
 
@GnomeSlice favorites include Temple 2, Tropical city 2 and facility 1
 
I've never actually seen it played.
 
There. Are 1 cost spells which deal 3 damage isn't there?
 
btw Comic Neue is an unironically terrible font
 
2:31 PM
Tiny Computer is a lot of fun but makes more sense in-game (fighting a giant super low res computer)
 
 
@Wipqozn Yes.
 
ALMOST ALL THE DIGITS HAVE DIFFERENT WIDTHS
 
@StrixVaria It didn't make a big impact on standard. It's played in Modern, but there's an easy answer for it in Modern: Lightning Bolt.
 
One extra point of damage for one point isn't that huge of an improvement
 
2:32 PM
@OrigamiRobot That's what I thought. It really doesn't do as much as you would think looking at it, but it's still a neat card for a red aggro deck.
 
(It won't last you very long. Remind me when I'm at home tonight and I'll suggest more things. Quick one: The Shield.)
 
The problem with Vexing Devil is your opponent is always going to choose the one you want less.
 
@BenBrocka Heh, I like it.
 
@badp Why are 3, 9, and 8 on the same row?
 
@GnomeSlice boss fight's great too. A bit easy, but it's a lot of fun to dodge
 
2:33 PM
@GraceNote 3 9 and 8 are actually wide exactly the same, so they're part of the same equivalence class, if you will.
 
@BenBrocka That game seems like a lot of fun.
 
@badp I feel like that could be illustrated better, but I leave that to @BenBrocka to advise on how.
 
@StrixVaria On turn 1, you probably want to keep the creature, so your opponent is going to take the damage. If they don't it's because they know they can deal with the creature before it does too much damage.
 
@BenBrocka Have you played broforcegame.com ?
 
@GnomeSlice It really is. I finished it over the weekend, still tons of gun parts to collect though. My fav guns so far are a cat that holds a shotgun and a magnum that shoots homing missiles, both modified to shoot 3 point bursts
 
2:36 PM
@StrixVaria it's real good with this.
 
@BenBrocka Heh, cat holding a gun
 
@GnomeSlice not yet, asked devolver about press copies and they said they'll be doing that later on
 
@BenBrocka The demo was pretty fun.
 
@GnomeSlice yeah, there's lots of crazy guns, and two of them are basically cats holding guns (both are pretty strong too)
 
Thanks for the soundtrack, this is excellent.
 
2:37 PM
in fact the cat with the shotgun is one of the best guns I have still, insanely good reload and high damage

Q: Damaging Piloting on Automated ships

BlackVegetableOn a piloted ship, damaging (orange color, not red) the piloting section of a ship cancels the ship's ability to dodge without a pilot (or reduces it, if it was level 3 piloting) but makes less of a difference if it is manned. The difference that remains is the pilot is forced to repair instead ...

 
@OrigamiRobot WTF
@BenBrocka If you're into chiptunes, you should give this a listen: vincekaichan.bandcamp.com/album/ilio
Mercenary Kings was made by Tribute Games?
Wait, I think I knew that.
Awesome.
 
Yeah, and they got Paul Robertson again
And let him design at least some of the bosses for sure--Alpha the dog's dog mechs are clearly Robertson's stuff
 
@BenBrocka Again?
Did he work on Wizorb?
 
They worked with him for Scott Pilgrim (before they were Tribute Games)
 
2:41 PM
Oh, cool. Haven't played that either.
 
@OrigamiRobot That is nice.
 
It's fantastic. Some balance issues with the combat system (it's hard to make a beat 'em up with levels/stats that doesn't have that) but it's a fantastic game. Even if only for Paul Robertson's pixels and Anamanaguchi's tunes
 
@BenBrocka Speaking of BeatemUps, have you played Aces Wild?
 
Yeah, good game; it finally got on Steam too

Q: In Alliance War, is weapon damage boosted for sub-level 50 characters?

RobinI understand that player stats are boosted, but if you go in with a level 10 weapon does it still do only 20 damage, or does it get boosted as well?

 
@OrigamiRobot Read this. I like the Crusader buffs and the WD buff to Haunt.
 
@OrigamiRobot @Chippies
 
Nothing for Monk, so I have little interest in this.
 
@OrigamiRobot "Access Denied" :( Stupid work filter
 
I'm more interested in non-class stuff.
Like can gems combining be less expensive plox?
 
2:48 PM
@OrigamiRobot I doubt they'll change that.
There are more gold sinks now and less gold availability.
I'm at a net -20 million since RoS launched.
 
@StrixVaria Jewelry rerolling costing nearly 1m is ridiculous.
 
Troll Mystic
 
41 is too many forgotten souls.
 
Not my own screenshot.
I have like 4 forgotten souls.
I keep wasting them all on mediocre items.
 
2:52 PM
Also, only 3 Crystals?
 
I think legendaries that cost FS also cost less dust and crystals.
 
All legendaries cost Forgotten Souls to reroll.
 
Hey, that looks familiar
:3
 
Chest Armor also costs 50 crystals to reroll.
 
@OrigamiRobot Heaven's Fury is pretty OP, I has critting for 8-9m (x3) with the flail that gives you 2 extra charges
 
2:55 PM
@OrigamiRobot Right, but I mean since they cost FS I think they're cheaper in other mats.
A legendary chest armor wouldn't cost 50 crystals; it'd be less.
 
@Krazer My LTK crits for 8-10m now. I switched to a fire build.
@StrixVaria I'm talking about legendary chest armor. It costs 50 crystals and a FS to reroll.
 
@OrigamiRobot Oh that's dumb.
@Krazer Isn't that the laser beam from the sky? Can that crit?
I'm not sure how DoT effects work with crits and stuff.
 
I still need to roll 3x sockets into my chest and 2x sockets into my legs. They each only have 1.
 
I never see yellow numbers, though.
 
@StrixVaria it's the one off CD, Fires of Heaven
which is getting the nerf
@OrigamiRobot I keep getting x2 sockets on my leg chest, is rolling 3 possible?
